WATER FOR ANIMALS.
The Advantages Of Running Small Sprin
IntOT ubs or TroUghS,

The Advantages of Running Small Springs
IntoT ubs or Troughs.
All animals should be provided with
pure water, and with none is it more
necessary than with milch cows. Seri-
Gus results have been known to follow
the use of impure or stagnant water.
1t is not every farm that has nat
ural and unfailing supply of water,
although many have, Il condition that
should be observed in the purchase of a
farm, as it is one of the most valuable
considerations that can be named. A
never-failing spring of abundant sup
ply can not be too highly priced; ii
costs nothing for repairs and is always
in good working order; but such bless.
ing are not shared by all, and hence
arises the necessity Of providing some
artificial means Of supply. Wells with
pumps will answer all demands upon
farms with small number of animals,
but upon farms where they are num-
bered by scores pumping water from Il
well by hand would be both laborious
and expensive. In such cases there
would probably be no better mode of
supply than by wind power, which
when adopted should be so situated
that the power could be utilized for
other purposes upon the farm. OF
course this is an expensive method of
procuring water but under some con-
ditions becomes necessity. In dis
trict with an undulating surface rescr-
voirs can be formed, whereby the sur
plus Of water in autumn and winter
can be stored for Summer use, and may
serve satisfactorily. Upon some farms
there are springs, watch, If utilized
properly, by conducting the water into
troughs, would be amply sufficient. but
left to themselves are insufficient to do
more than make Il mass Of mud where
the cattle tread continually to slake their
thirst. Quite small spring run into
some troughs or tubs will furnish an
abundant supply. -Gcrmanto0n 7ele-

RUST IN WHEAT.
Destructive Fungus Which Passes
Through Three Distinct Ages.

The disease known as rust in wheat
and oats is caused by a fungus called
Pucci1io graminiS, which has Il most in
teresting history. Just as truly as the
codlingmoth live during part of its life
as Il larva in the apple, II second part
as pupa under the bark near the base Of
the tree, and the third adult stage rs Il
mature moth with wings, so does this
rust have three distinct stages, The
black rust stage is the mature stage in
which the black spores are produced
that survive the winter in the straw or
stubble of wheat, oats or some other
grass plants. In the spring these rest
ing spores in some way get upon the
leaves Of barberry very probably ON
some more common plants also) and
germinate. producing what Is
known as the cluster cups
on that shrub. The cup-like
formations on the surface of the bar
berry leaf are full OF minute spores
which arc carried by the winds, some
reaching the grain. These spores
lodge on the rough surfaces of the
blades and stems of the wheat or oats
and begin growth by sending out a
very minute and thread-like mycellum.
as it is called, which penetrates the
plant and grows through the tissue,
multiplying very rapidly. When the
grain is nearly ripe the mycellum pro-
duces yellowish spores near the sur
face of the leaves and stems, which
break through and stand out over the
plant. often making it look reddish
yellow and covering the hands and
clothes of those binding it by hand be.
fore the dew is off in the morning.
These spores fall to other parts of the
plant and grow, thus aiding the rapid
multiplication of the thread-like my
ccllum In filling the plant tissues.
The third or adult stage differs main
ly in the kind of spores produced over
the surface OF the plant. They are
black, instead of reddish or yellow.
They can be seen in rows along the
stem or leaves of ripe grain. or stubble
in fields that were infested. These
black spores are more dense than those
produced in the second or "rcd stage
aud are calculated to live through the
winter and start n new generation by

parks. but there is no grass in them,

The policemen carry swords and

A GREAT TUNNEL.

Plans Adopted for Tunnellng the Rocky
Mountains Under Trays Peak.
One of the most prodigious engineer
ing projects now on the tapis is that for
tunncling the Rocky mountains under
Trays Peak. which rises no less than
IA, AL feet above the level Of the sea.
1t is stated that at 4, AL feet below the
peak, by tunncling from east to west
for $4,000 feet direct, communication
could be opened between the valleys OH
the Atlantic slope and those on the Pa
citic side. This would shorten the dis.
lance between Denver in Colorado and
Salt Lake City in Utah, and conse.
quently the distance between the Mis-
souri, river. say at st. Louis. and San
Francisco, nearly three hundred miles.
and there would bc little more required
in the way Of ascending or descending
mountains. Part of the work has al
ready been accomplished. The coun.
try from the Missouri to the foot of the
Rockies rises gradually in rolling prai-
rie until an elevation is reached of 8, 200
feet above the sea level. The Rockies
themselves rise at various places to II
height exceeding 1000 feet. OF the
twenty most famous passes. only seven
are below lO,O5O feet, while five are up.

from the circumstances under

What are the circumstances
First, as to price. Being able,
in conn ection with our large

large quantities, in many cases
closing out entire lines, (Which
always insures a reduction in
price, and paying spot cash for
same, gave us the advantages

Second, as to assortment.
Being able to buy in large quan

before, enabled us to select an
assortment far more extensive
than we would have been able
to do under ordinary circum
